Mary Jane Bryant Parish

 and

Thurman Coy Parish, Sr.

Over the years I have met many people who have been so very kind. I must say none top Thurman Coy Parish, Jr.

Thurman, I can never thank you enough for your kind patience. A couple of years ago Thurman ran across a posting I had entered on a genealogy website. He sent me an email and you would be surprised at just how happy a genealogy email can induce. At the time we had a sickness in the family and I only had a chance to correspond with Thurman a couple of times.

Almost two years past by before I could email Thurman and I was so worried he might think I just didn't want to take the time. But as soon as I emailed him he responded with a very kind email saying he understood. We have corresponded by email every since and Thurman has sent me a treasure worth more than gold to me.

The following pages are photos, letters, stories, etc. that Thurman has been kind enough to share. Thurman you are helping me make my dreams come true and I can't wait to meet you and your family.

In memory
